When the 2021-2022 school year ended, so did free meals for every student.
While the federal government funded a program that allowed all students access to free meals during the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress recently declined to continue funding this program. This means all families will need to carry a positive balance in their children’s school meal accounts when school begins next fall.
If your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them in 2022-23. Fill out the forms below to complete the process.
